Two varieties of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. var. scopulorum (Rocky Mountain variety) and P. ponderosa var. ponderosa (Sierran variety)) seedlings were subjected to elevated atmospheric CO2 for two and a half years. The CO2 concentrations were ambient, ambient + 75 .mu.l l-1, ambient + 150 .mu.l l-1 and ambient + 300 .mu.l l-1, or approximately 350, 425, 500 and 650 .mu.l l-1 CO2. After one and a half years of exposure to elevated CO2 and until the end of the study, seedlings of both varieties showed symptoms of stress including mottling, mid-needle abscission and early senescence. In both varieties, exposure to CO2 concentrations greater than ambient + 75 .mu.l l-1 resulted in lower chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid concentrations. At elevated CO2 concentrations, the concentrations of pigments in needles of the Sierran variety were lower than those in the Rocky Mountain variety. Also, at elevated CO2 concentrations, the pigment concentrations in the 1-year-old needles of both P. ponderosa varieties were lower than those in current-season needles.
